One of the largest U.S. privately owned auto transport companies is quietly mounting a long-shot bid - with increasing help from the Biden administration - to rescue trucking giant Yellow Corp from bankruptcy liquidation and bring back some 30,000 union jobs, according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions. The previously unreported effort by Jack Cooper Transport, a trucking company that counts General Motors, Ford and Stellantis as its main customers, has gained steam in recent weeks as the powerful International Brotherhood of Teamsters union and a bipartisan group of U.S. senators stepped up their pressure campaign on the Biden administration. The piecemeal liquidation of Yellow's vast trucking and terminal assets could begin next month, in a deal that is expected to value its real estate at $1.5 billion and its vehicle fleet at hundreds of millions of dollars.  ( 35 min )

It's been a cautious start in Asian markets as Israeli troops backed by tanks pressed into northern Gaza with a ground assault that drew increased international calls for the protection of civilians. The Nikkei has taken the biggest hit, in part due to speculation the Bank of Japan might tweak, or even abandon, its yield curve control policy when a two-day policy meeting ends on Tuesday. The central bank is considered almost certain to nudge up its inflation forecasts, but analysts are divided on whether it will act to allow 10-year bond yields to rise further given it spent billions last week to hold them below 1%.  ( 34 min )

The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation metric showed prices continued to cool in September — a critical data point the Federal Reserve will consider as it weighs its next interest rate decision on Nov. 1.  ( 36 min )

An inflation gauge that is closely monitored by the Federal Reserve showed price increases remained elevated in September amid brisk consumer spending and strong economic growth. Friday’s report from the Commerce Department showed that prices rose 0.4% from August to September, the same as the previous month. September’s month-to-month price increase exceeds a pace consistent with the Fed’s 2% annual inflation target, and it compounds already higher costs for such necessities as rent, food and gas.  ( 33 min )

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is being sued by the billionaire Haslam family, which accused the conglomerate of using improper accounting to devalue its remaining 20% stake in Pilot Travel Centers, the largest U.S. truck stop operator.

According to a complaint made public on Thursday in Delaware Chancery Court, Berkshire has unilaterally and without consent adopted "pushdown" accounting rules that artificially reduce Pilot's earnings before interest and taxes, and "grossly" reduce how much the Haslams would receive if they sold their remaining stake.  ( 33 min )
